..we took Bessie


Our friends Randy and Jill Sutton had an old Winnebago motor home in the late 80s and 90's,  it was butt ugly back them,  square, green shag carpet, right out of the 70's  they affectionately called it Bessie.  They took Bessie on family trips and the many baseball tournaments they traveled to.  We are in a dinner club with Suttons and Jill would tell us where they had been and that they took Bessie.  After a year or so Janet Webster who grew up in Sutton's ward said, " I can't believe how nice you are to take Bessie Wilcox on all of your trips."  We have laughed at this for years. Bessie never married and never traveled anywhere and although she's deceased, Jill and Randy gave us a picture so that we could "take Bessie".  She behaved most of the time, except one incident visiting Lynn Cracyk in the hospital. She traveled light and never complained.
